1.) my pdoc and therapist are tending to focus on the present and not asking much about the past--when there's a lot there that is still causing issues for me

This is most likely because the current data suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy works better for some disorders and that involves addressing the "now" because the past is the past. Not that anyone would make light of it; sometimes the discussion needs to include things from the past. One of the things my therapist has me working on is letting go of past grievances so that they don't bog me down and prevent me from moving forward in a positive way.
